HFTM  ~  Help Find The Missing Welcome

Our primary objective is to assist the families of missing persons. Our focus is to get people involved and perhaps ultimately generate new leads and public interest. You may, unknowingly, have some crucial information to a currently unsolved crime or missing persons case. If you have any information about any of the missing person cases located in our database please contact us. You could help a family bring their missing loved one home. We firmly believe we can help by bringing people together for a greater cause and through our personal diligence. Too often the missing are forgotten by the public at large. By joining HFTM and our community, you are making a statement that you're not willing to forget. Bear with us as we work hard to establish www.helpfindthemissing.org as the premier website for information regarding all aspects of a missing person's case. Join our volunteer based effort and help us make a difference in your community and perhaps in someone's life.

SITE HACKED

You might have noticed that some weird things have happened around here the last couple of days. You might have even gotten an email, purportedly from us, that was neither very nice nor very creative. The give-away that it wasn’t really from any of us was the complete lack of original creative thought.

It wasn’t us.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone. It's hard to believe that someone would want to take down a site that is dedicated to helping the missing and their families. We are dedicated to helping and won't let any one keep us from doing just that.

Thank you to everyone that has stood with us through this problem. We are back and running again.
